There is jubilation as President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration has started paying the delayed salaries for the month of November 2024.

It was discovered that the salary delay affected ministries, departments, and agencies of the federal government after losing access to their funds for various programs and projects.

According to a report in PUNCH, the delay was due to the ongoing migration from the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System to the Government Integrated Financial Management Information System.

Confirming the payment of November salaries, a senior director in the Federal Ministry of Defence, said on Monday, December 9, “The salary came in this morning after quite a number of days. Some of us were contemplating staying home because the delay had become too much.”

A government school teacher who also confirmed receiving her November salary on Monday, December 9, said, “I can confirm that my salary came in on Monday morning around 11 am. It took restraint on my part not to go borrow money, as we’re already in the second week of December. The government should always consider its workers in times like this.”
